What inspires you and how do you envision the design for your business?

Check out readers.livingsocial.com (registration required to manage your book collection) or http://apps.facebook.com/facebookshelf. You will probably have to toy around with adding, removing, re-categorizing, rating books, etc. to get the gist. We'd like to experiment with the 99designs approach.

We want to create a dedicated book management page that is pure utilitarian... I've created a screenshot for you from the wireframe-esque PSD I put together. We want it to pretty much look and work like this.. typical interactions.. clicking columns toggles sort, clicking edit reveals a dropdown or some other change mechanism, etc. All interactions will happen inline. Shoot an email to eddie@hungrymachine.com with any interaction questions.

Note: design only what is below the tabs!

Skin away!

Thanks,

The LivingSocial Team

Wants

- A clean, uncluttered design (granted, there's a lot going on here).
- Multiple entries in the list to have different length authors, titles, etc. to illustrate how truncation, wrapping, etc. should work
- Think utility... primary focus is the tool
- Retain all key pieces... this is a 'skinning' job
- Nicely layered PSDs if there is graphics involved.. make it easy for me to cut it up please :-)
